​All children should be enrolled at school and should attend every school every day. It is a parent's responsibility to ensure that their child attends school on every school day for the educational program in which he/she is enrolled. A parent of a young person in the compulsory participation phase is obliged to ensure their child is participating full-time in an approved education or training option. Any time a student is not attending or participating in their educational program it is considered an absence and must be explained.

Please contact the school prior to any planned absences or within 2 days of returning via the following methods: A letter to the class teacher, a note in student's diary, phone 46368333, email: Student.Absences@darlheigss.eq.edu.au.
